On a side note, I've met a fair number of "zealots" who aren't Christian, too. Zealots come in all shapes and sizes: Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Pagan, etc.
This is an example of the latter tactic. The only point that was marginally valid was the download issue. However that is pretty pathetic since anyone who is disabling IE is going to be downloading Netscape or Opera and those suckers are the same size as SP1.
You're kidding aren't you? The full Windows XP SP1 is 133MB.
Mozilla (which the latest Navigator is based on) clocks in at 11MB for the full Windows download while Opera is 3.4MB without Java and 11MB with it. Netscape Communicator 4.8 which is a full suite of Internet utilties rather than just a browser is around 20MB. The browser itself is much less.
